ANNOUNCEMENT: Deaf-Friendly Cities in the U.S.
By Deaf411 | April 28, 2008
Research shows that you will move an average of twelve times during your lifetime. Each move is a major commitment of time and money. How do you know if the new city you are moving to is ideal for your needs? What should you look for?
Most people base their decision to move on their personal needs i.e. employment opportunities, to be closer to family, improved educational opportunities for their children, or larger housing.
Deaf people face more issues and obstacles. Making a decision can be overwhelming. The biggest challenge is accessibility in the new city. Accessibility has huge impact when considering career, educational, medical, retirement, public activities, socializing, and other factors.
There needs to be resources to help people make decisions. Deaf411, a marketing and public relations company, has taken on this challenge.
Deaf411 is now gathering and will share information about what would be an ideal “Deaf-Friendly” city. They are seeking input on which cities in the U.S. welcome deaf people. Which cities actually go out of their way to accommodate deaf people?
In a Deaf411 video, announcer Michel Swafford cites, as examples, efforts by newspapers or magazines to promote such topics as “Top 100 Best Companies to Work For”, or “100 Best Retirement Places”. Swafford encourages Deaf people to participate in this survey.
